How long does it take to get a new article approved?

The Articles for Creation review process typically takes several weeks to several months, depending on the backlog of submissions and the complexity of the topic. Simple, well-sourced articles about obviously eligible subjects may be approved relatively quickly, while more complex or borderline cases can take longer as reviewers carefully evaluate sources and notability. If a draft is declined, the revision and resubmission process can extend the timeline further. The review process is entirely dependent on volunteer editors' availability, so patience is essential as there are no guaranteed timeframes for approval.
